Soil & Groundwater Applications

TenCate Geosynthetics deliver solutions that enhance the performance and design life of transportation engineering structures for paving. From our complete product line for Roadway and Railway Construction System Solutions, we offer materials that function for sealing, stress relief, adhesive bonding, and soil reinforcement. They offer robust mechanical properties coupled with high water flow capabilities that extend pavement life by retarding reflective cracking, waterproofing and reinforcing asphalt pavements.

Geosynthetics offer cost-effective, long-term solutions where conditions impose severe restrictions on road construction - where subsoils are poorly drained, or where the subgrade consists of cohesive, saturated and/or organic soil. Geosynthetics have also radically changed the way embankments, retaining walls, steep slopes, and even tunnels and bridges are constructed.

Construction waste consists of unwanted material produced directly or incidentally by the construction industry. This includes materials that may contain lead, asbestos or other hazardous materials. There is increasing pressure on the construction industry to dispose of this hazardous material in an environmentally responsible manner. Tetronics can help alleviate this pressure by providing waste recovery plants to deal with all types of hazardous wastes generated from a construction projects lifespan: from land remediation through to the treatment of APCs from incineration as well as the treatment of asbestos.

When maintaining rivers and canals Watermaster Classics excellent moving capabilities and versatile tools are of prime importance. When Watermaster works, it does not disturb passing traffic because it anchors with its own spuds, unlike one-purpose machines, which require cables for anchoring and stop the other traffic while working. Watermaster Classic is an excellent solution for accurate dredging. It can remove an exact layer of sediment from the bottom. Its excellent moving and anchorage capabilities enable efficient dredging in places where dredging has to be done in several different areas of the river. Watermaster Classic does not need external help to move from one place to another. Precision dredging is especially needed when exact hydrometrical modelling has been done. Watermaster Classic ensures the right results which are effective and long lasting.

Civil engineering jobs in water are typical for Watermaster Classic. Watermaster is ideal when e.g. embedding cables and pipes in the bottom and it can also do other kinds of maintenance work effectively. The harder the conditions are, the greater Watermaster`s advantages compared to other technologies. The machine moves to the site with its own propulsion system and remote controlled spuds give proper anchorage for steady and efficient excavating work as well as for cable mounting.

Very typical work for Watermaster Classic is deepening canals, rivers and other waterways. Many sites, which are impossible for other machines to get to, can be deepened and cleaned easily with Watermaster. The vegetation and trash is normally removed first by backhoe work and then the bottom is deepened to the desired depth by backhoe work or by pumping.

We make it easy to meet the growing demand for material compliance and transparency. Transparency and disclosure are now a requirement for doing business. Specifiers and building owners pursuing green building certification and corporate sustainability goals expect deep disclosure of environmental, ingredient, and supply chain impact information. Savvy building owners are also starting to incorporate transparency requirements into specifications.

Restoring structures after floods and fires is a constantly evolving industry. In addition to keeping up with industry best practices for health and safety of both the contractors and the building residents post restoration, it is also important to be working with modern and reliable restoration equipment. Utilizing Omnitec and OmniAire products will allow you to take advantage of the latest best practice methods with equipment you know will work reliably and safely.
Airborne contaminates and dust is a significant consideration for almost any restoration project. Did you know that studies have shown a substantial increase in air particulate matter during the drying process? Not only does dust and contaminates affect your worker’s safety, but also the safety of the post-restoration occupants. Just increasing the air circulation doesn’t remedy the situation and, without adequate filtration, may actually create more problems.

The GEOWEB system offers design flexibility for unpaved roadway surfaces, base stabilization, road shoulders as well as erosion protection of embankments and stormwater drainage channels. The 3D GEOWEB structure offers strength improvements to the road base layer for asphaltic and concrete pavements far greater than delivered by geogrids. A single GEOWEB layer performs well over soft subgrades - while geogrids require 2-3 layers for the same benefit - saving cost and construction time. Unpaved roads built with the GEOWEB system are permeable, and require 50% less infill. Roadway slope and channel designs include vegetation, aggregate or concrete protection.

Dust can pose a particular hazard for people working in enclosed spaces such as in tunnel construction and deep mining. As the workers inhale, dust gets into their airways and can cause health problems. Poor visibility brings added exposure to risk. A reduction in the amount of dust generated also lengthens the service life of the machines. Therefore efficient dust control is particularly important in this industry.

Safe and Economical Solutions for Site Work. Presto Geosystems has a 35+ year proven track record in civil site construction and restoration solving soil stability and access challenges. Through infill confinement, Presto’s GEOWEB 3D geocells reduce cross-sectional requirements by 50% or more for tracking pads, construction staging areas, access roads and work platforms – and they perform well over soft ground. The safest and most economical portable mats, GEOTERRA, offer fast, temporary site access.

The GEOWEB system’s ability to effectively spread loads allows it to bridge and distribute loads to fewer pile cap columns, increasing the spacing between columns compared to traditional concrete pile cap systems. This reduction in pile cap columns significantly decreases costs on a project. When compared to geogrid solutions for minimizing columns, the GEOWEB®LTP system can beconstructed with less expensive sand infillinstead of aggregate/gravel. Deployment operations do not require low pressure earth moving equipment because of the GEOWEB system’s unique ability to support construction equipment loads immediately after infilling.

McHewel’s Infrastructure Practice works closely with clients to meet their most pressing needs across transport, energy, social infrastructure (e.g. healthcare and education), and real estate. We are a global network of experts who help deliver practical and cost-effective solutions. In the last 3 years we have executed more than 300 client engagements serving 100 different clients in emerging as well as developed markets across the infrastructure industry.

Concrete Cutting Contractors use our LP555SDT for saw slurry clean‐up. Concrete cutting using a Diamond Saw is the process of cutting expansion joints on freshly paved concrete roads. After cutting, water is used to eliminate dust thereby creating a slurry. This slurry has to be cleaned up due to EPA Regulations and the Vac-Tron vacuum excavator is the preferred clean-up method. Using water to create the slurry and then using the LP Series - Wet/Dry Industrial Vacuum Excavation System to eliminate any residue. Contractors perform this application frequently for airport runways and highway repair, as well as new construction.

Pulsair Systems is the leading provider of industrial pneumatic mixing and air agitation equipment for the asphalt industry. Our industrial asphalt tank mixing system are efficient, cost-effective and well suited for mixing sealcoat, asphalt emulsions, coal tar and other asphalt based sealers.

In construction and infrastructure field GPR application makes it possible to have the most detailed topography of undergrounding. GPRs help to discover ground water location, old underground passages and cavities remains and karst layers.

The roads and bridges construction and repair demand of careful investigation of road surfacing state, quality of used concrete and geological assessment of ground structure under roads to find any heterogeneity. GPRs can be applied here for: tunnels, road surface thickness measure, runways state assessment.The important advantage of GPRs using – quick road surface assessment.
